A Djyklawesome Canopy Bed

Well the lil' lady (that would be Mrs. Corinne Chance) has always wanted a canopy bed but hasn't had the luxurious opportunity of owning one. We have a queen size poster bed and I took it upon myself to make her a suitable alternative. So after some careful measurements and number crunching we mosied on over to Bed, Bath and Beyond (where we still had like $300 on gift cards leftover from the wedding) and picked out a couple of curtain rods and curtains. After we bought that and some kettle corn (of course) we made our way by Lowe's to get some hangers for the curtain rods. Installation was super simple. The tops of the posters on our bed screw on and off, so all's that had to be done was unscrew the tops and wedge the hangers under them and screw them back down. Then just had to hang the rods and curtains and voila! A djyklawesome canopy bed!

Postscript: In case you were wondering, djyklawesome means three times as awesome as awesome and is pronounced 'ja-claw-sum'. Thanks to Urban Dictionary for putting some pizazz into an otherwise dull language (as if we don't have enough words we can't already pronounce) http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=djyklawesome&defid=1681753
